Meet Giuliana

A mother, wife, and tech-project manager & privacy professional.

Like you, Giuliana is a parent trying to raise children in a world that moves faster than any parenting book can keep up with. Unlike most, she is also a tech-project manager and certified Privacy & Cybersecurity specialist with more than ten years of corporate experience.

She created Parent Presence because the gap between what the tech industry knows and what parents know is too wide, and too dangerous, to ignore. The purpose is to help parents learn how to protect children in the digital age.
